"It takes more than a typical 12 year old mind to decide to set up an account at a website designed to connect people for sex, then go through with a meeting. A wise judge would throw this case out and take a hard look at her parents."

His profoundly bad judgment (i.e., even if it was a 28 year-old with 16 year-old), even if he didn't think it was criminal, is going to land him in prison for a long time. It should not be thrown out. The law puts the onus on the adult to exercise the judgment that it presumes the minor is not capable of doing."
